For Leeds United there are three games left in the Championship season in a campaign that most fans will be glad to see the back off.

A dramatic downturn in results since Christmas has seen the club drop out of the play-off race, with Paul Heckingbottom struggling to improve results after Thomas Christiansen lost his job in February.

Most Whites supporters, therefore, will now want to be looking ahead to a summer where the club have the chance to improve their squad and tool up for another promotion push next season.

Several reinforcements are needed across the team and the latest rumour to emerge is at the goalkeeping position.

Leeds have been forced into chopping and changing between the sticks this season, with summer signing Felix Wiedwald beginning to the season as the club's No.1 before a series of errors saw Christiansen give Andy Lonergan a spell in goal.

Wiedwald would return, but he again was responsible for a series of high profile errors and was again dropped, this time by Heckingbottom and this time for academy graduate Bailey Peacock-Farrell.

The 21-year-old had not played for the first-team for almost two years when he was given the nod against Wolves last month and has made the most of his opportunity, impressing greatly and being one of the rare bright spots in the club's recent run of poor form.

And while Peacock-Farrell will be hoping to hold onto the shirt next season, it is likely that Heckingbottom will want to bring in a new goalkeeper to challenge the Republic of Ireland Under-21 stopper.

And according to the Sun, Leeds are in the chase for Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Keiren Westwood.

The 33-year-old, who is currently out injured with a groin problem, still has a year left on his Owls' deal, but may be available with young Wednesday duo Joe Wildsmith and Cameron Dawson deputising in his absence.

The report claims that Westwood is also wanted by relegation-haunted Southampton, who are looking to replace out-of-sorts Fraser Forster, and Celtic also in for him.

Westwood came through the Manchester City youth system before making his name at Carlisle, with Leeds fans likely to remember his excellent performance against Leeds in the 2008 League One play-offs.

Stints at Coventry and Sunderland followed, during which time he established himself as a Republic of Ireland international, before his 2014 move to Hillsborough.

With Wiedwald and Lonergan's futures at Elland Road uncertain, it is easy to see why Leeds could be interested in a 'keeper of Westwood's stature and experience, where he could act as a mentor figure to aid Peacock-Farrell's development.
